Okay guys please give me some feedback at what I am doing wrong! I had surgery just over a month ago and do not regret it at all!! However I have been dealing with some tummy issues! I am now lactose intolerant which sucks big time so I am now staying away from dairy but am still getting sick to my stomach!! I get daily stomach pains and sorry for the info here but bad diarrhea... I have also thrown up twice from the stomach pain! I am still on soft foods, I eat slow and don't drink with my meals.... Has anyone else had these same problems and if so how did u deal with them??? Thanks for any insight :)

Do you take meds like Prilosic or Nexium in the mornings. If I don't take mine, I get nauseous very easily. I would call your doc and see if they could give you some anti-nausea meds. Definitely call your doc so you don't get dehydrated.

I had C-diff post op which is really nasty and causes similar symptoms. Check with your doctor and make sure that you don't have some type of gastro infection.

Yes, check with your MD. I had your symptoms in the second week, but they cleared. Was told to report diarrhea if more than 5x a day or it it continues.

Mine has cleared and all is OK.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
